Hi,
Need help from those who already owned this Android box. I just bought the exact same thing. My TV has no HDMI (old CRT TV), so I have to use the Component (YPbPr) connection, which my TV has. The cable supplied is the Yellow, Red and White that does not correspond to Red, Green and Blue of Component cable. Has anyone tried figuring out which color goes to which? I tried to interchange the connectors but so far no success.

When the device has started, is there any indicator/light/LED to show that it is on? I saw a picture of a similar looking device that has the Android logo on top lighting up. Anyone has this?

Does AV Out port beside the Network port able to output Audio and Video or just Audio with the cable provided? I suppose AV out means Audio Video out.

Thanks for all your help

I got this DX clone.

I really need to find out how to play big files (like 10gb) mkv 1080.
I have an external HD (500gb) and it only mounts if in fat32. I can't put large files into a fat32 HD. What is the solution you guys suggest?

PS: What are the benefits of installing this new firmwire (maxq r7)? So far I just saw the smb server.

clamel

Hello I have your same device. Mine can read ntfs formatted disk without any problem. I think also yours.. all our devices have the same firmware, the difference is in small customization of some vendors..

r2arthur

Thanks for the reply.
Weird. Mine couldn't read NTFS (I get an error on the task bar saying it could not be mounted - corrupted or something).

From the Settings menu I get this info:
Model Nr: TV-BOX
Android Version: 2.3.1
Kernel version: 2.6.32.7
build number: rk29_gingerbread_v1.28_071
sdkDemo-eng 2.3.1.2011022.10416

Do you mind in checking if the version is the same?

clamel

Are you sure the hard disk is ok? you can try to attach the HD to a windows pc and make a scandisk to fix possible errors..
If it does not resolve, you can try to upgrade your firmware.. I have a similar version but differ from yours for:

sdkDemo-eng 2.3.1 GINGERBREAD eng.hushishuai.20110922.120230 test-keys

you can download maxr7 version and try, or I can give the link to my device firmware on my site:

Creazione di una Custom Rom per dispositivi rk2918 (rooted) [clamel.netai.net]

you have to download the link "U574R softwares in Italian.rar"

You can change the langage to english after installation. Let me know

r2arthur

Thanks a lot Clamel. I will double check my hdd (its in fat32 now) re-formatting in ntfs and give a try.
If it doesn't work I will try to use this custom rom

clamel

you are welcome.. only a little notice: the link I gave you is not a custom rom.. This is the original firmware on my tvbox. In the article i start from it to obtain a custom ROM

good luck

r2arthur

It's working now clamel. I don't know what I did wrong (probably was using the wrong usb slot while trying to make it work with ntfs).

You did the root right? Could you please share links or tutorials talking about how to root our device? I saw the link that you sent but my italian isn't that good

clamel

I'm happy you solved your problem my friend.

For rooting your device, try to use this automated translated page from my tutorial:

Google Traduttore

if you have any doubt don't hesitate to ask me

evilzipik

how root this device without change image and update?

z4root for android 2.2 and low devices

My box not supports Live Wallpapers function. Is it a firmware limitation? Is possible to do something about?

evilzipik

firmware limitation
i don'w known resolve this future

yric39

If you can not use HDMI cable ( old TV or other reason ).
Audio out cable - as usual.
Video out cable - it is very difficult to find 3.5 mm. component video cable. In this case, take any 3.5 mm. component cable ( from video camera or other): red to red, white to blue, yellow to green. O.K. You are happy.

yric39

Sorry, I mean "any composit" cable.

evilzipik

if my device model GV-2 this is compatible with maxq R7 firmware?
all sellers say that GV-2 model not have firmware and support site =(

in the box manual haven't: Upgrade the firmware via SD card

PS. in the picture and the characteristics clone maxq r7

Give me more detail about your box. I think my castom firmware is for you. It was a long way for me to make a castom ROM. I tried many original firmwares till found I need.
Sorry my english, I am from Russia.

in the spec says firmware included from 12.01.2012.
rk29xxtools by clamel instructions ok rooting maxq firmware, but i not sure what this firmware compatible with my TV box (model GV-2)

clamel

Hi friend,
i saw from pictures, your box is the same of mine!! So you can use maxq r7 firmware.. I'm also working at my personal modded version of the firmware.. I will pubblish soon

yric39

Take Sysinfo.apk from market and you will see your "build" and FW. Then it will be possible to decide which one for you as a base fw - maxq r7 or my fw. I tried maxq r7. It does not work. My vendor fw roots only with clamel alternative tool.

yric39

There are two kind of MaxQ R7. One is with 2 USB, other with 3. They gave the fw only for last one and it is not sutable for the first..
Is it your logo R-box or G-box?

evilzipik

yes =) but i read in manual - upgrade via sd card and afraid that maxq fw will not work for me. And so far has not yet received my usb cable Am-Am.
Tell me about personal modded version more information?

2yric39
i have with 3 usb ports.

Thanks for in formations im glad and i will search for this.....

clamel

Hello,
I just finished to prepare my custom rom for our device (3 usb port version).
If you want to try it, you can find it in my site:

clamelmod for Android rk2918 (3 usb ports model) tvbox [clamel.netai.net]

Regards

yric39

Thank you Clamel.
I used your guide in italian some days ago to repack my Uniuga U574 fw for 2 USB ports box. I used alternative Tool software. This u574 fw is different from yours.
Now Unuiga sells boxes on the same base U574 fw with Android 4.0. I shall try to get the fw some later.

evilzipik

who known how upgrade via sd card? =)

kwantlen

I do not think you can do this as yet.

Go to the MaxQ website and download their firmware update. It contains a utility to connect with the device USB port and then upgrade with clamelmod. It works very nicely and removes all the unnecessary clutter.

maxq.com.my/index.php/support/media-player-1635/firmware-update-24542/category/16-maxq-r7

evilzipik

if you read discusiion, you known what i not have cable (shipped to me, i wait)

and you have GV-2???? why instructions has text = upgrade via sd card?

kwantlen

You can use any regular USB cable; must have two male ends.

My model has 3 USB ports; it is GV-2.

You don't need to root to see files on your NAS. Use an app called Skifta. Unbelievable finds everything

evilzipik

very nice if you have gv-2 and firmware maxq is worked!!! =)

Is this box is the same ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d84EPM_kROQ
Does it have same openGL interface like on video at 1min35 ?

clamel

The box seems to be the same, but I think the one with opengl interface has the new ICS firmware.. I ask for it to my seller, but they told me it will be available in 2 months..

laziod

Hi I have the samw box but it has 4 usb ports. im looking to find bluetooth dongle support and where to find firmware updates. Any chance of ICS on this? There making tabs and phones with this chip set that have ICS. Thanks in advance.

Ayer4y3r

hi, my device is dead. If you can do is reset but will not start.
Neither I can connect the PC. Does anyone know how to load firmware from
an SD?
